The Haunting
A skeptical psychologist gathers three strangers at a remote manor to cure their insomnia, only to discover the house itself is a malevolent force that threatens to drive them all mad.
“Some houses are born bad.”
Synopsis
Dr. David Marrow invites three individuals to the remote and unsettling Hill House to participate in a study on sleep disorders. As the guests settle in, they realize that Marrow's true focus lies with the house itself, and they begin to uncover the dark and terrifying secrets it holds.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.2× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
